The weird and wacky Rube Waddell is profiled in this excerpt from Ken Burns' Baseball documentary series. There's never been anyone else in the major leagues quite like Rube. Tags:RubeWaddellbaseballAdded: 2nd April 2009Views: 5822Rating:Posted By:Lava1964

When I was 7 yrs old my grandmother (being a big fan) took me to see my first Kirk Douglas film, Man Without a Star, and he became my first hero. If you're also a fan, I hope this clip will bring back a lot of fond memories.

This is one of the more famous and memorable What's My Line mystery challenger segments. From February 5, 1961 regular WML panelist Dorothy Kilgallen, who had missed three weeks of shows due to illness, surprised her colleagues by being a mystery challenger!

This is the second part of the interview given by longtime What's My Line panelist Bennett Cerf to journalist Robin Hawkins on January 23, 1968. It was part of an oral history project focusing on famous New Yorkers. (The sound occasionally fades in and out.) Again, Bennett provides some interesting anecdotes about his WML colleagues.

Branch Rickey, one of baseball's greatest minds, was a mystery challenger on What's My Line on September 13, 1959. Rickey had twice revolutionized the game: He introduced the farm system in the 1920s. He also signed Jackie Robinson to a contract, effectively racially integrating the major leagues. Rickey's proposed Continental Baseball League never got off the ground, but it did prompt the exisitng major leagues to grant expansion franchises.

In May 1958 former What's My Line panelist Steve Allen triumphantly returned to the show as a mystery challenger. He has his former colleagues bamboozled for a while. Allen's quick wit is wonderful. Tags:WhatsMyLineSteveAllenAdded: 15th May 2008Views: 1212Rating:Posted By:Lava1964

What's My Line fans--you'll enjoy this! This is the first part of a 1968 Bennett Cerf interview with journalist Robin Hawkins. Cerf tells the story of how he became a regular WML panelist in 1950.

Here's a group of obviously disgruntled women. Between 1830 and 1840, most temperance organizations began to argue that the only way to prevent drunkenness was to eliminate the consumption of alcohol. The Temperance Society became the Abstinence Society. The Independent Order of Good Templars, the Sons of Temperance, the Templars of Honor and Temperance, the Anti-Saloon League, the National Prohibition Party and other groups were formed and grew rapidly. With the passage of time, "The temperance societies became more and more extreme in the measures they championed.
"He who does not love wine, wife, and song will be a fool his whole life long" — a vigorous 1873 assertion of cultural values of German-American immigrantsWhile it began by advocating the temperate or moderate use of alcohol, the movement now insisted that no one should be permitted to drink any alcohol in any quantity. It did so with religious fervor and increasing convictions.

This unspectacular outfielder spent 13 seasons in the major leagues and three seasons in Japan. He probably won't be best remembered for anything he did on the diamond, though. Who is he? Tags:whoisheAdded: 18th June 2009Views: 755Rating:Posted By:Lava1964

Stage actress and well-known panel show celebrity Kitty Carlisle appears as a mystery challenger on the syndicated version of What's My Line. Since Carlisle was an occasional panelist on the original WML, old colleagues Bennett Cerf and Arlene Francis were quick to recognize her.
